Modern washing machines have revolutionized laundry tasks, but they often leave clothes with unsightly wrinkles.
1. Tips for Reducing Clothing Wrinkles When Using a Washing Machine
While modern washing machines have simplified laundry chores, they can still cause clothes to develop wrinkles.
Below, Mytour provides readers with some handy tips to minimize clothing wrinkles when using a washing machine:
1. Choose clothing made from wrinkle-resistant fabric materials.
Typically, ready-to-wear clothing items come with manufacturer labels indicating whether they are suitable for washing machines or not.
2. When dealing with a large variety of clothes to wash, it's best to sort them by fabric type and select the appropriate wash cycle for each garment.
3. A laundry bag can be a useful accessory for effectively preventing clothing wrinkles.
To avoid excessive friction inside the washing drum, which can stretch fabric fibers and lead to wrinkles, it's recommended to place clothes in a mesh bag before washing.
4. Leaving clothes in the washing machine drum for too long after the wash cycle can also result in wrinkled garments. Therefore, it's important to promptly remove clothes for air drying once the washing is complete.
5. Before hanging clothes to dry, give them a good shake. For a more meticulous approach, gently flatten out wrinkles by hand before hanging the clothes to dry.
6. It's advisable to choose hanging clothes instead of folding them tightly, as creases from folding over time can lead to more wrinkles in the clothes.
